CONCORD — A House committee recommends that the full House of Representatives kill a bill that would create a pilot program to allow swimming at car-top boat launches, as at Connor Pond in Ossipee. The full House could deep-six the proposed legislation as early as May 8.

The bill, SB 160 was heard by the House Fish and Game Committee and Marine Resources Committee on April 17. On April 23, members voted 15-2  for "inexpedient to legislate," meaning the full House should kill it.
